Leaky Taps, Toilets & Small Plumbing Repairs
No Job Too Small — Fixed Fast, Priced Fairly
That dripping tap, running cistern, or faulty flush might seem minor — but left unfixed, it wastes money and can cause real damage. Jacob sorts it same day.
A Dripping Tap
Costs You More
Than You Think
A tap dripping once per second wastes over 11,000 litres of water a year — adding real money to your bills. A running cistern can waste up to 400 litres a day.
These aren't just annoying — they're expensive. The good news? They're usually quick fixes. Jacob can typically sort a dripping tap or faulty flush in under an hour, same day.
"I know big companies ignore the small stuff. I don't. Whether it's a dripping tap or a leaking U-bend, every job gets the same attention to detail and the same honest price. Ring me and I'll tell you straight what it'll cost." — Jacob
